It is with a touch of sadness that I report to you that our remodel project is coming to completion....NOT!!!!!
Everyone involved is anxious to have a life back and have free evenings and Saturdays again!!
 
This week and next we will be working double time to be ready for carpet near the end of next week. We still have painting, trim work, and lots of clean-up and tool removal to accomplish before the carpet arrives.
 
Ken has worked full-time for us four days this week to keep the job on schedule, as well as our other faithful trustees and volunteer workers. Thank you for your dedication to this project!
 
Last Sunday we had "Breakfast Club" (Sunday School for all ages and breakfast prepared by the youth) in the new-not quite finished-Great Room. This Sunday we will again and be prepared to make cards for Josh and Joel. Sunday 12-20-09 we will have a festive dinner and Christmas Party to christen the new carpet!! Watch for details.
 
Please pray for energy, patience and safety for our work crew as we rush to meet deadlines.
 
To God be the Glory,
 
Sandy Tonseth
CLT Chairman

The Stafford team is collecting new or gently used small stuffed animals to give as gifts to each resident of Stafford who attends our worship service on Christmas Sunday. If you have some you'd like to donate, please place them in the box at the back of the church by Sunday, Dec. 13th. We're also hoping to round up BELLS to use during our holiday services. If you have some you could donate or loan, please put those in the same box. If you'd like your BELLS returned to you, please label them with your name. Thanks so much!

This year we've changed our program a little.  We now play board games with the kids one week, the following week we make a craft. Of course the Wii is there every week.  There is a need for more board games.  If you have any used or new ones that you could donate, please talk with Sue Pleasants.  Also new this year, Brad Neil shares Bible stories with the kids every week, beginning in Genesis. The team working with the kids, Brad, Nelda, Jody, Bruce and Sue, are very thankful for your prayers and support.
